Behind the Scenes with Stevi

Our April 2015 cover model is Stevi from Lawrence, Kansas. She is a stay at home mom and student.When asked about her ambitions, Stevi said “I would one day like to get my PhD in Clinical Psychology to become a therapist, and work with children and young adults.”

When it comes to hobbies, she told us “I spend most of my spare time with my daughter. We collect rocks, which she loves them for some reason.” When asked about turn-ons, Stevi said “Loud bikes and muscle cars, guys and girls with tattoos and piercings, and a gentleman with all of the above.” On the flipside, she told us her turnoffs include “People with no ambition, motivation, or goals and a those with a bad attitude.”She also admits that she’s a sucker for “Cheezy romance. Just grab me, lean me back, and kiss me!”

Stevi describes her personality as outgoing, loud, and positive. When asked what the smartest thing is she’s ever done, she said “Having my daughter. She changed my entire life for the better. She also told us the most stupid thing she’s ever done was “I attempted a double back flip off of a water bed and broke my arm.”

Do you have pets: Yes. I have an 80 pound Pitt named Saint. He looks tough, but he's a huge lover. My 5-year-old rides him around like a horse.

Do you ride? Yes, I love riding with others whenever I get the chance.

Do you own your own bike? I don’t; however, I would like to in the near future.

How long have you been riding? I got on my first bike at 11; I burnt my leg on the muffler and didn't get back in until 23. A good friend who is a member of the Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.) group convinced me to take a ride at a charity event I was at with The Bombshells, which was a lot of fun.

What is your dream bike? I want a big, loud, Harley! I've mostly ridden Harleys, and I have come to love them more and more over the years.

What is your most memorable riding experience? I took a ride with a friend I met at a bike wash for Big Twins Cycles. He took me on a ride from Lawrence to Topeka and it was so relaxing! A drive I've taken a thousand times over the years, but on the back of a bike you see things you never did in a car.

What was your least memorable ride? When I was 11 and burnt my leg on the muffler of my uncle’s bike. I waited a long time to get back on a bike

Which is your favorite bike night location? Slow Ride in North Lawrence, Kansas. I've been going there for years, and the owner is a great guy! I wash bikes on Friday nights during the summer, and the crowd are always amazing.

Do you prefer riding in a group or by yourself? When I get a bike I think I will enjoy riding in a group, but a nice ride alone would be nice once in a while.

Tell us about your tattoos. I have eight tattoos on my neck, arms, wrist, and ribs. My favorite is the song on my side "God Blessed the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts. It's a very meaningful song in my life, because it's been a broken road, but it will lead me where I'm meant to be.

Who is your favorite tattoo artist? Why? Brent Franzen in Lawrence, Kansas. He is a family friend as well as an amazing artist. He has an eye for true art and he can take any piece and add a personal touch to it.

Thank you Stevi, for doing such a great job on your Cycle Connections cover!
